Blizzard has their own rights to ban people from playing their game due to cheating. They have their own rights to protect their property. You seem to only think about consumer rights when companies have rights too. They don't have to explain more when it clearly says that if you cheat, they can terminate your access to the game.

Straw men much? Read the context. I have never said Blizzard doesn't have the right to suspend cheating players. However, I have stated that Blizzard has to provide the proof that you actually cheated, since the suspension was initiated by them. If they fail to do so, they can't stop delivering a service you paid for. Just like you can't take someone to court without providing evidence, and have them convicted (yea, we know it happens but we're not going to go there).

Do you really think it's legally founded when some uneducated drone at customer service just reply that they know you did something bad, without actually providing the proof for it. It's against the law (at least in the EU) to suspend a service without letting the customer know why, so they have a chance to appeal it. Unlike you might think, not everyone suspended ran bots but happened to run WoW on the same PC as someone who did, among other things. They are refused the proof for botting, and hence they cannot appeal.

Edit: Actually I don't think it's even legal to suspend the service, without prior warning to the customer, so they can eventually correct the issue. The only exception would be if Blizzard can prove that not suspending the service would put lives at risk or suffer substantial financial losses. Neither would be the case for a personal botter that maybe just used a rotation bot.

"due to the medication I take for a severe disability, it stops me being able to concentrate enough to play more than 20 or 30 mins at a time."

Lol, how long did it take you to write this post then? Jk jk.

I have two characters gold capped, over 15 lvl 100s and 19k achievement points as well as I was raiding in one of the top guild in the EU. I decided to run a bot for a bit, and got banned. I'm not crying about it, be thankful you didn't get perma-banned and wait the 6 months out. If you really want to play buy another account, buy WoD and boost a character to lvl 90. Not a serious thing...

When you bot, regardless of the extent one should know the risks...

Just my 2 cents Good luck all
